Using UI Automation Code in AutoIt

[LarsJ]

You will need to find out what type of automation is supported by your application. Classic (AutoIt) automation, MSAA automation (Inspect.exe, dropdown control in upper left corner) or UI Automation (Inspect.exe or UIASpy). For both MSAA and UI Automation code, the rule of thumb is that it's only possible to automate a task that can be performed manually by an end user.

[mLipok]

I'm just looking for a small .NET application that is publicly available to make tests available to everyone.

[LarsJ]

You cannot know in advance which automation options will work. If you want to make something that is generally applicable, then you will need to make some small tests for all 3 options. But I have no immediate ideas about possible test applications.

Here is screenshot:

As you can see UIASpy properly sees the $UIA_NativeWindowHandlePropertyId value.

And my question related to this screenshot:

Why I can not do the same (to get $UIA_NativeWindowHandlePropertyId value) with my repro code ?

AutoIt can find any top-level window. No need to search from desktop. Just use method ElementFromHandle. This method can be used for any controls that have a native handle (found by AutoIt).

@InnI thanks for:

Func _UIASimple_ElementFromHandle($hHandle)
  If Not IsHWnd($hHandle) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
  Local $pElement, $oElement, $oUIA = _UIASimple_InitAutomation()

  If Not IsObj($oElement) Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
  Return $oElement
EndFunc   ;==>_UIASimple_ElementFromHandle

And thanks to your suggestion about:

Local $hWnd2, $s_Title2
    $oWindow.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_NativeWindowHandlePropertyId, $hWnd2)
    $oWindow.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_NamePropertyId, $s_Title2)
    _Log(@ScriptLineNumber & ' $hWnd2 = ' & $hWnd2 & ' $s_Title2 = ' & $s_Title2)

 

This directs me to solutions the main problem.

Becuase I notice that:
 

$oWindow.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_NativeWindowHandlePropertyId, $hWnd2)

returns value in DEC

but:
 

WinWait('UIA HWND Example')

returns value in HEX

 

So I'm working on finall solution.

btw. take a note that 

 

$oWindow.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_NativeWindowHandlePropertyId, $hWnd2)

returns a value in DEC, it seems to always be a 32 bit DEC value

but:
 

 WinWait('UIA HWND Example')

returns value in HEX with bitness corelated to:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
;~ #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

Thus this following line was needed:

Local $hWND_DEC = Dec(StringTrimLeft($hWND_HEX, 2), $NUMBER_32BIT)

so Instead:

Local $hWND_DEC = Dec(StringTrimLeft($hWND_HEX, 2), $NUMBER_32BIT)

try to use:

Local $hWND_DEC = Dec(StringTrimLeft($hWND_HEX, 2))

and switch between:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
;~ #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

What results you get ?

EDIT: 
oops I mean try here:

If IsHWnd($sTitle) Then
        $hWND_HEX = $sTitle
        $hWND_DEC = Dec(StringTrimLeft($hWND_HEX, 2), $NUMBER_32BIT)
        $sTitle = WinGetTitle($sTitle)
    EndIf

to change to:

        $hWND_DEC = Dec(StringTrimLeft($hWND_HEX, 2))

@Danyfirex you compiled code?  automatically added your mail adress to microsoft store?    mine not worked

that's the first step just add the email you need to do/add some code to full log in.  I only teach you how to catch the fish, but if you only want the fish you have to pay for it. 😅

You already have one thread helping you on this, so why post in another? Let us stick to this one.

Hi @demon964 ,

do you plan to automated more then the login (account confirmation)?
In case it's only this window/popup/modal, you could save your time by simply

• find the window
• focus the window
• navigate through TABs
• send your text (inputs)
• use SPACE or ENTER to confirm the button(s)

.. done.

Of course this wouldn't be a nice approach, but maybe a simple one in case nothing more is to do 🤔 ?!

Best regards
Sven

This is the first time I actually need to use UI Automation, but I can't reach any climax.

This is the UIASpy of the Firefox window I need to enter text in several Edit controls.

My code so far:

expandcollapse popup

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7

;#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n ; If target application is running as 32 bit code
;#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y ; If target application is running as 64 bit code

#include "Includes\UIA_Constants.au3" ; Can be copied from UIASpy Includes folder
;#include "UIA_Functions.au3" ; Can be copied from UIASpy Includes folder
;#include "UIA_SafeArray.au3" ; Can be copied from UIASpy Includes folder
;#include "UIA_Variant.au3" ; Can be copied from UIASpy Includes folder

The console output shows that I can reach the green underlined window, document, but I can't get to the Edit control:

$oUIAutomation OK
$oDesktop OK
--- Find window ---
$pCondition OK
$oWindow OK
--- Find document ---
$pCondition OK
$oDocument OK
--- Find control ---
$pCondition OK
$oEdit ERR

I've tried to add a (possibly pointless) step to access the Document control, as in the code, but the result is the same.

Is there a limit to the maximum supported depth between a window (or here a document) and the targeted Edit? I notice there are a large number of Group controls in between.
